Routing

# Routing You've probably learned how to use [Controller](doc:mvc-controller)? Let's try on how explicitly create a route for your modules. Routing is the place where you define how the system interact with the **URL** requests. Let's assume we have this page to login ``example.app/login``. ## Advisable to know these firsts: - <a target="_blank" href="/docs/mvc-module">Module</a> - <a target="_blank" href="/docs/mvc-controller">Controller</a> - <a target="_blank" href="/docs/mvc-view">View</a> ## Index: - [Basic Usage](#basic-usage) - [Dynamic Route](#dynamic-route) - [Naming Route](#naming-route) - [Route Group](#route-group) - [Learn More](#learn-more) <a name="basic-usage"></a> # Basic Usage under your **project-name/app/main/routes.php**, let's add this: ```php <?php route()->addGet('login', [ 'controller' => 'Auth', 'action' => 'showLogin', ]); ``` The above code shows how to create a ``GET`` request, the first parameter is the ```/login``` uri, and if you will be attempting to visit the page ```example.app/login```, the dispatcher will analyze the request **URI**, if found a match, let us say it matches the route above. The second parameter comes in, which we point it to ``Auth`` controller and the function ``showLogin`` will be called. Go to **project-name/app/main/controllers/AuthController.php** and write the function like below: ```php <?php namespace App\Main\Controllers; class AuthController extends Controller { public function showLogin() { return view('auth.login'); } } ``` The above code will be triggered once the url is visited, then we call the ``view()`` function to show our template engine file. --- <a name="dynamic-route"></a> # Dynamic Route You've learned the basic, now let's move on to this dynamic route. ```php route()->addGet('users/{id}/edit', [ 'controller' => 'User', 'action' => 'edit', ]); ``` and here is the controller sample ```php <?php namespace App\Main\Controllers; class UserController extends Controller { public function edit($id) { # do a model query using the $id passed in dd($id); } } ``` The above codes show how to handle url values, so attempting to run this url to your browser ``example.app/users/1/edit``. It should die-and-dump the ``$id`` which value is **1**. --- <a name="naming-route"></a> # Naming Route Let's extend more about the ``login`` uri by adding **addPost** also. Add a ``setName(<name>)`` chain on it. ```php route()->addPost('login', [ 'controller' => 'Auth', 'action' => 'attemptLogin', ])->setName('attemptLogin'); ``` In your ``controller`` or ``view``, you may call the function ``route('showLogin')`` to return the full url. ```php // ... class ... extends ... { public function showLogin() { $post_login_url = route('attemptLogin'); // example.app/login return view('auth.showLogin') ->withPostLoginUrl($post_login_url); } public function attemptLogin() { // code... } } ``` The code above shows how to get the full url by just getting the route name. How about the route ``users/{id}/edit``, let's inject a name **userEdit** in it, and call it this way by providing the ``id`` in the second parameter. ```php echo route('userEdit', [ 'id' => 100, ]); ``` It must return ``example.app/users/100/edit``. --- <a name="route-group"></a> # Route Group Route group is much more cleaner to use if you want to separate a scope into a class registrar - having a url like this ``http://example/users/../..`` into **UsersRoute** class - as well ``http://example/auth/..`` into **AuthRoute** class Run this to your console: ```shell php brood app:route Users main ``` ```shell > Crafting Route... > UsersRoutes.php created! > Generating autoload files ``` The above command generates a **UsersRoutes.php** inside your ***main*** module. Go to **project-name/app/main/routes/UserRoutes.php**, open the file, you should have this defined values. ```php <?php namespace App\Main\Routes; class UsersRoutes extends RouteGroup { public function initialize() { $this->setPaths([ 'namespace' => 'App\Main\Controllers', 'controller' => 'Users', ]); $this->setPrefix('/users'); # - url as users/index $this->addGet('/index', [ 'action' => 'index' ]); # - url as users/store $this->addPost('/store', [ 'action' => 'store' ]); # - url as users/1/show $this->addGet('/{id}/show', [ 'action' => 'show' ]); # - url as users/1/update $this->addPost('/{id}/update', [ 'action' => 'update' ]); # - url as users/1/delete $this->addPost('/{id}/delete', [ 'action' => 'delete' ]); } } ``` Now register this class in your **project-name/app/main/routes.php**. ```php route()->mount(new App\Main\Routes\UsersRoutes); ``` Create the ``UsersController`` at ``project-name/app/main/controllers`` or execute the brood console command instead. ```php <?php namespace App\Main\Controllers; class UsersController extends Controller { // add a function } ``` That's it, and you should have a simple resource URL. - /users/index - /users/store - /users/{id}/show - /users/{id}/update - /users/{id}/deleted --- <a name="learn-more"></a> # Learn More To learn more, I have this reference that shows how fully Phalcon routing works. - <a target="_blank" href="https://docs.phalconphp.com/en/latest/reference/routing.html">https://docs.phalconphp.com/en/latest/reference/routing.html</a>
